Podcasts about Samir Amin

Amid rising concerns about AI, inequality, trade wars, and globalization, New Yorker staff writer and Pulitzer Prize finalist John Cassidy takes a bold approach: he tells the story of capitalism through its most influential critics. From the Luddites and early communists to the Wages for Housework movement and modern degrowth advocates, Cassidy's global narrative features both iconic thinkers—Smith, Marx, Keynes—and lesser-known voices like Flora Tristan, J.C. Kumarappa, and Samir Amin. John Cassidy has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1995. He writes a regular column, The Financial Page. He holds degrees from Oxford, Columbia, and New York Universities. His new book is Capitalism and Its Critics: A History from the Industrial Revolution to AI.

What if the concept of decadence holds the key to understanding our societal and political structures today? This episode challenges traditional narratives by dissecting Samir Amin's unfinished work on revolution and decadence through a Marxist lens. We navigate through Afibung's critique of decadence theory, contrasting Marxist views with more coherent conservative critiques of current institutions. Furthermore, we tackle the pressing issues in the education systems of the U.S. and Britain and ponder how the normalization of capitalist problems by the left may hinder societal progress. Our dialogue draws on insights from Christopher Lasch's "Culture of Narcissism" to suggest that the root of societal issues may go deeper than mere narcissism.Join us on a journey through historical socio-political frameworks as we question Eurocentric grand narratives and explore the tributary mode of production. With a critical eye, we scrutinize the tendency of Marxist scholars to generalize historical categories and contrast this with the nuanced perspectives of civilizations like the Roman, Byzantine, Arab, and Ottoman empires. This discussion probes the coherence of these generalizations and their role in understanding the evolution of productive forces and state structures, challenging the utility of broad historical categorizations.Imperialism and socialism's past and present dynamics take center stage as we analyze the challenges of forming anti-imperialist alliances in today's fragmented world. Reflecting on historical parallels, from the Roman Empire to modern Western capitalism, we examine the enduring divisions of labor and the pressures facing nations like China and Cuba. Through the lens of global socialist states, we explore Hugo Chavez's vision for a Fifth International and the ongoing struggles of socialism in the context of economic development and class struggle. This episode invites listeners to reconsider the nature of revolutions and the implications of bourgeois ideologies in shaping new modes of production.Check out Revolution or Decadence by Samir Amin. Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Send us a textWhat if the revolutions that shaped our world were never meant to begin in the most advanced nations? Join VarnVlog and Regrettable Century as we unravel the intricate tapestry of revolutionary decadence and world systems theory, exploring the profound insights of Samir Amin, Giovanni Arrighi, and Emmanuel Wallerstein. We embark on a journey through Amin's critical examination of Eurocentrism and his bold stance during the Egyptian revolution, where his support for the liberal side against Islamists served as a testament to his unique ideological position. Through probing discussions, we challenge traditional Marxist narratives and uncover the complexities of proletarian stratification and imperialism's ever-evolving definitions.This episode takes a deep dive into Marx's legacy, examining capitalism not just as a mode of production, but as a force that redefines societal structures. We tackle Marx's political integration into economic theories, appreciating Engels' contributions to anthropology and ecology, while offering a critical analysis of Baran and Sweezy's monopoly capital theory. Our conversation underscores capitalism's transient nature, urging a reconsideration of historical expectations and the need for theoretical adaptations to contemporary realities.From the mid-20th-century socialist revolutions to the rise of neoliberal economic restructuring, we map the shifting ideologies from Marxism to Islamism and the repercussions on global political landscapes. This episode critiques the evolution of developmentalist regimes and the reinterpretations of Lenin's theories, drawing parallels between the fall of ancient empires and modern capitalist crises. As we navigate these historical transitions and systemic oppressions, we invite you to question established paradigms and engage with the ever-changing narrative of global political ideologies.

​A 4ª edição do DjarFogo International Film Festival está a decorrer esta semana em Cabo Verde. O evento destaca filmes tanto do continente africano quanto da diáspora, e tem como tema "Libertação através da Cultura". Esta edição presta uma homenagem ao centenário de nascimento de Amílcar Cabral, com uma selecção de filmes que abordam temas como "resistência, identidade e a luta pela liberdade", como  explica o director do festival, Guenny Pires. RFI: Como é que arrancou o festival?Genny Pires: Arrancou muito bem. Não podia ter sido da melhor forma, uma vez que tivemos actividades na Universidade de Cabo Verde, actividades também no Centro Cultural Português com a exibição do filme Mário, sobre Mário Pinto de Andrade. Tivemos uma sala cheia com estudantes e professores e vários convidados. Foi uma coisa muito linda. O festival está a decorrer da melhor forma possível, tivemos uma excelente abertura com a apresentação de um grupo, as Batuquinhas PBS, que apresentaram três temas ligados à luta de libertação e músicas muito importantes no contexto da criação ou da reafirmação da identidade cabo-verdiana. Estamos muito felizes e esperançosos de que o projecto vai continuar e vai ter cada vez mais oportunidades de poder trazer mais cineastas aqui  e contar com a contribuição, de forma humilde, da produção que se faz no país, mas sobretudo trazer o mundo para Cabo Verde e poder fazer com que o mundo possa filmar aqui em Cabo Verde e possa partilhá-lo com o resto do mundo.Como sabemos, Cabo Verde é um país que tem uma diáspora muito grande. Este festival focaliza nos filmes do continente africano; temos 25 filmes do continente e os outros filmes da diáspora, que também são filmes daqui de Cabo Verde e estamos muito agradecidos e muito contentes com a abertura. O festival continua nos próximos dias na Ilha do Fogo. Vamos ter uma homenagem especial ao ex-Presidente de Cabo Verde, o comandante Pedro Pires que foi agraciado pelo DjarFogo International Film Festival com o prémio ícone cultural. Estamos satisfeitos e que temos muito, muito trabalho pela frente.Na Ilha do Fogo vamos ter actividades nas escolas e vamos aos três concelhos da ilha. Também teremos a finalização do evento com a entrega de prémios. O festival decidiu entregar 20 a 25 prémios durante o encerramento do festival.O festival tem como tema Libertação através da Cultura. O que é que este tema significa e como é que se reflecte nos filmes seleccionados?É precisamente por causa da homenagem que estamos a fazer desde o início do ano em torno da personalidade de Amílcar Cabral. Este tema reflecte a luta de libertação de África, dos países que falam português. Mais do que isso, os filmes foram seleccionados com base nos temas dos filmes que vão de encontro com o tema principal do festival. Começando pelo filme de Samir Amin, que é franco-egípcio francês, um intelectual e político, este filme passou na Universidade de Cabo Verde. Temos um outro filme sobre música em Lisboa... Tudo a ver com africanidade que discute questões culturais e identitárias.Que filmes ou eventos específicos estão alinhados ao centenário de nascimento de Amílcar Cabral?Temos o filme Sonhos de uma Revolução, um filme de Moçambique. Temos um filme da Guiné-Bissau que Mon di Timba. Temos outro filme da Guiné-Bissau que é antigo e temos um filme também de São Tomé sobre aquela história de 1953 que morreram várias pessoas no massacre..de Bafatá...Sim. Há  filmes desses países, outros da diáspora, por exemplo, temos um filme sobre Oakland, na Califórnia, que trata questões de afro-descendentes, que fala sobre a questão da brutalidade policial e discriminação. Depois temos filmes de animação, um filme da Austrália que também vai, neste sentido, de redescobrir a sua pessoa através do cinema. Todos os filmes que temos têm a ver com o tema principal do festival, que é sobre a liberação através da cultura. Nós escolhemos este tema para poder fazer um casamento agradável com o centenário de Amílcar Cabral.Como referiu, o cinema permite-nos reflectir sobre o mundo e sobre as problemáticas actuais, nomeadamente sobre a questão da violência racial. É importante que a arte e, neste caso, o cinema, crie um espaço para o pensamento?É verdade que se tivermos em conta que o cinema como uma das ferramentas mais poderosas para ensinar, até para conhecermos quem somos, os filmes e o cinema podem ajudar-nos a desbravar e conhecermo-nos. Mas, mais do que isso, dar-nos a possibilidades de, por exemplo, contarmos a nossa história a partir da nossa própria perspectiva e de uma perspectiva africanista, mas também numa perspectiva de mistura de culturas. Este festival é uma forma de também as pessoas poderem ver coisas que, muitas vezes, são invisíveis ou acessíveis de outra forma.Esse é um dos principais desafios desta4ª edição?Sim, porque um país pequeno como Cabo Verde, com várias dificuldades, sobretudo num ano de eleição em que as dificuldades são muito maiores, há uma certa tendência a esperar até o último minuto para resolverem as coisas. Para nós, tudo isso é uma aprendizagem constante, uma aprendizagem agradável, embora com vários constrangimentos, sobretudo financeiros porque queremos trazer vários cineastas e queremos criar condições porque o cineasta vive de ir ao festival e é ali que, de facto, pode ser reconhecido e pode trocar experiências por criar co-produções. Nesse sentido, este ano propomos oito projectos de documentários, de filmes documentários, com o nosso parceiro da Colónia Pitch the Doc, que vai seleccionar oito projectos, entre os quais três destes projectos de Cabo Verde.Cabo Verde ainda não tem uma indústria de cinema. Estamos numa fase muito incipiente, de modo que a nossa preocupação é sempre trazer algo que possa ajudar localmente, mas também que possa ir entrando e sinalizar o cinema cabo-verdiano. É poder contribuir para o desenvolvimento da sociedade cabo-verdiana e poder projectá-lo e criar uma marca de Cabo Verde. Estamos muito animados e muito determinado e confiante no resultado que terá que levar o seu tempo naturalmente, mas pouco a pouco estamos a dar um salto e estamos a internacionalizar cada vez mais este cinema.

In this episode is the conclusion of our 2 part conversation with Max Ajl.  Max Ajl is an educator and a researcher and the author of A People's Green New Deal, which we highly recommend and had a previous discussion of back in 2021. He is also the associate editor of Agrarian South: Journal of Political Economy. Here we continued our discussion of his piece “Theories of Political Ecology: Monopoly Capital Against People and the Planet." In this section of the conversation we talk about China's role in the world system and Max discusses the question of imperialism with regard to China, specifically on the African continent. From there we get into a discussion of degrowth, what Ajl sees as its strengths and weaknesses as a camp of ecological thought engaging at a popular level. We also dig deeper into Max's interventions in the realm of ecologically unequal exchange, something we began to discuss in part 1 of the conversation. We thank Max Ajl for this conversation and will include links to a bunch of the citations in the show notes as well as to the article we're discussing and Agrarian South Journal. We recorded this conversation way back in early August, but this is the first episode we've released since the most recent phase of Palestinian Resistance to apartheid and colonialism began on October 7th and since the apocalyptic Israeli siege on Gaza began as a form of collective punishment. We want to express our unequivocal solidarity with the Palestinian people in this time in their anticolonial struggle, and enduring the crimes against humanity that the Israeli state is enacting on the whole population of Gaza. We will be looking to do some more work on that specific topic soon. But for now we want to make sure to relay that to our listeners along with this episode.

In this episode we welcome J. Moufawad-Paul back to the podcast. Previously we had him along with Alyson Escalante and Devin Zane Shaw to talk about On Necrocapitalism a collectively authored book they all worked on together along with some other authors. For today's episode we are focused on J. Moufawad-Paul's latest book Politics In Command: A Taxonomy of Economism. This book seeks to understand what economism is, how it is deployed through socialist analyses, and the ways in which various categories (economy, politics, class, practice, revolution, etc) are mobilized and classified according to its imaginary.  Today we talk about a range of topics related to this book, including what economism is, ways it manifests, and related issues like workerism, the concept of the labor aristocracy, and arguments around so-called identity politics. We also get into a little discussion around Marx's model of Capital, what Samir Amin called “actually existing capitalism” vs “imaginary capitalism,” and Cedric Robinson's idea of racial capitalism. And relatedly we talk about why class is not an identity, but rather as Moufawad-Paul puts it “class comes cloaked in the messiness of social relations.” Along the way JMP debunks some conspiratorial understandings of how capitalism works and how the ruling class reproduces itself. And we get into discussion of what Moufawad-Paul argues is the role of the vanguard party as an interventionist party that helps the working class understand itself as a combative class struggling for the overthrow of capitalism, rather than just fighting for immediate material gains in order to defend against the ravages of austerity. As we mention in the show, this book is available through Foreign Languages Press, we will include a link to that in the show notes, as well as to several of Moufawad-Paul's other books, writings and interventions. Happy New Year to those of you who live under a Gregorian calendar. We have a goal for January of adding 31 patrons to keep up with attrition and hopefully continue to build a little bit as well.

Militära invasioner, handelskrig, inflationens återkomst, prisökningar och klimatkris - allt samtidigt. Hur ska man förstå Rysslands roll globalt och deras angrepp på Ukraina? Med John Hörnquist som gäst försöker detta avsnitt av Apans anatomi att se vad Samir Amin, Immanuel Wallerstein och Giovanni Arrighis världssystemteori kan ge för klarhet över de stora globala förändringarna just nu. Vi försöker ställa de stora världsförändringarna 1991 då hela den geopolitiska kartan ritades om mot det som sker idag. Har USA:s globala hegemoni och grepp över globaliseringen brutit samman?

Donald and Rudy join John Smith, author of Imperialism in the 21st  Century: Globalization, Exploitation and Capitalism's Final Crisis for a discussion on imperialism and unequal exchange. We discuss the history of three global commodities: t-shirts, iPhones and coffee and what they  can tell us about the worldwide social relationships of capitalism, why  GDP and productivity are illusions that hide exploitation and  super-profits, the concept of labor aristocracy and super-profits and the political programs of Arghiri Emmanuel, Samir Amin and Ruy Mauro Marini.  We then turn to the present, including capitalism's crisis, decaying US  hegemony, the possibilities of North-South solidarity and the existing  actual solidarity links in trade unions. We finish by discussing what fair trade relationships between socialist countries could look like.

Elle nous fait réfléchir, du point de vue de l'histoire et de l'économie, à ce qui traverse nos sociétés et nous fait parfois confondre un certain nombre d'avancées avec de vraies régressions

V približno štiristoletnem procesu, nekako med letoma 1500 in 1900, si je peščica evropskih držav podvrgla svet. Evropski raziskovalci, trgovci, plantažniki, industrialci, vojaki in, kajpada, kolonisti so si zlagoma podredili obe Ameriki ter Avstralijo in tam izvedli genocid strašljivih razsežnosti nad staroselskim prebivalstvom. Razkosali so si Afriko in v odvisen ali polodvisen položaj spravili starodavna azijska cesarstva od otomanskega na zahodu do kitajskega na vzhodu. Ta proces se je v naš kolektivni zgodovinski spomin vpisal z dvema besedama: kolonializem in imperializem. Toda v tem zmagoslavju Britanije, Španije, Francije, Portugalske, Nemčije, Nizozemske, Rusije, Belgije in Italije je bilo vsebovano tudi že seme poraza – tekmovanje med evropskimi velesilami za nadzor nad svetom, nad ozemlji, surovinami, trgovskimi potmi in tržišči ter ljudmi je namreč sprožilo najprej prvo, nato pa še drugo svetovno vojno, ki sta staro celino izčrpali do te mere, da Evropa starih kolonialnih imperijev preprosto ni več mogla zadržati. In tako sta kolonializem in imperializem enkrat za vselej odromala na smetišče zgodovine, kajne. No, kolonializem v pretežni meri morda res, glede imperializma pa stvari niso tako preproste. Samir Amin, sloviti francosko-egiptovski marksistični ekonomist in politolog ter pionir teorije svetovnih sistemov, je bil, na primer, prepričan, da je imperializem tudi danes še prav lepo pri močeh, da pravzaprav predstavlja temeljni ekonomsko-politični okvir, znotraj katerega se odvija življenje na našem planetu. Svojo interpretacijo oziroma analizo imperializma je Amin potrpežljivo razvijal skozi vrsto let, nekaj njegovih tozadevnih razprav pa je pri Založbi /*cf. pred nedavnim izšlo tudi v slovenskem prevodu pod naslovom Sodobni imperializem : spisi o kapitalizmu, imperializmu in revoluciji. Kako je torej Amin mislil imperializem, da ga ni v uporabo prepustil le tistim zgodovinarjem, ki se ubadajo z 18. ali 19. stoletjem, ampak ga je s pridom apliciral na analizo sodobnega, globaliziranega sveta? In v kakšni podobi se mu je ta svet skozi prizmo koncepta imperializma navsezadnje razkril? – To sta vprašanji, ki sta nas zaposlovali v tokratnih Glasovih svetov, ko smo pred mikrofonom gostili sociologa dr. Marka Kržana, ki je Aminov Sodobni imperializem prevedel in mu pripisal spremno besedo.

Image: Fannie Lou Hamer & Ella Baker, Aug. 6, 1964 [https://snccdigital.org/events/mfdp-holds-state-convention/] Knowledge is the intentional organization of information to meet an expressed objective and/or objectives. If this is, indeed, a viable conceptualization of knowledge, then the ability to correctly analysis the conditions within which a people find themselves must operate as praxis, consistently and constantly. As stated before, European modernity rooted in the intellectual and material construction of a global order as founded in the creation of whiteness, supported by the culture of racial capitalism is rupturing. In reaction, this whiteness, as an organizing construct is attempting to hold its position of authority. While the U.S. is currently in the middle of what to some is a peculiar national election cycle, to others, that critical thinking and radical vibrating other, this period is only peculiar in that we are once again in a cyclical discourse around voting in a settler nation that was organized on genocide; forced labor; systemic and institutionalized race/ism; and continuous imperial engagement with the world. In order to maintain one's sanity living in such contradiction, one can only think with those who provide sharp and penetrating clarity when analyzing the discourses of the moment. “It isn't revolutionary or materialist to disconnect things. To disconnect revolutionary consciousness from revolutionizing activity, to build consciousness with political agitation and educational issue-making alone is idealistic rather than materialist....” (George Jackson, Blood in My Eye, 1972: 26-27). Thinking through the binary, the either/or category of thought that limits our capacities for strategic praxis in Western capitalist democracies, we see how the dialectical processes operate throughout the Africana world to create contradictions [and opportunity]. For example, Senegalese political economist Ndongo Samba Sylla (2013), echoing the scholarship of Samir Amin (2004) in The Liberal Virus, demystifies the celebratory language of ‘free and transparent' elections for ‘liberal democracies' in Africa as fictitious systems that benefit the economic elite in-so-much as they create an impression (rather than a reality) of an emancipated collective.” (A Certain Amount of Madness: The Life, Politics, and Legacies of Thomas Sankara, 2018: 130-131; Sylla, 2013). Said all this to say, we are at a juncture. An unavoidable fracture that is weaved into the sociopolitical and cultural fabric of the nation-state. The conflicts inherent in political discourse, that is the competing narratives between the political activity of the collective and the political act of the individual are a manufactured reality in a capitalist democracy. Cedric Robinson provides more clarity for us on this arguing: “capitalist democracy” is one of the most powerful and enduring metanarratives of modern Western historiography. As an ideological formation it has inscribed discursive domains as distinctive as politics and science…As icon, its aura hovers over our institutions of knowledge and power, permeating inquiry and decision making with the counterfeit certainties of predestination” (Cedric Robinson, Oliver Cromwell Cox and the Historiography of the West: 7). So, what is to be done? How do we make sense of all this? Today…: of elections and beyond, thinking through the Crisis in Western Hegemony. I recently sat down with Corey Walker, Professor of the Humanities at Wake Forest University. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous, African, and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples!

Dezassete países da África subsariana, incluindo 14 antigas colónias francesas, celebram 60 anos de independência. Será preciso descolonizar as independências africanas? Régio Conrado, investigador doutorando no Instituto de Estudos Políticos da Universidade de Bordéus, considera que África ainda não se conseguiu descolonizar, aponta o dedo ao “sistema ocidental que encara África como espaço de espoliação” e acredita que “a solução e o destino” do continente passam por uma “grande revolução” feita pelos jovens e pelo "potencial de revolta social, intelectual e cultural". A conversa alargada com o investigador Régio Conrado tem como mote a pergunta: é preciso descolonizar as independências africanas? O doutorando no Instituto de Estudos Políticos da Universidade de Bordéus subscreve a tese do filósofo camaronês Achille Mbembe, segundo a qual África ainda não se conseguiu descolonizar e a independência é “um simulacro daquilo que são as verdadeiras necessidades que os africanos tinham quando reivindicavam a independência”. “A África não só não conseguiu descolonizar-se de forma concreta e material – sobretudo na África francófona – mas também os problemas essenciais que estruturavam a situação colonial permanecem. Por um lado, a questão da exclusão estrutural, a miséria, a fome, a questão das ditaduras que se estruturam e permanecem (...) Sessenta anos depois, o que temos no continente africano? Temos, por um lado, regimes autocráticos e ditatoriais que se aprofundaram, basta ver o caso, por exemplo, do Gabão, basta ver as contradições internas existentes em países como o Burkina Faso, basta ver o caso do Chade com as diferentes guerras de secessões internas. O segundo ponto fundamental são as questões das instabilidades no continente africano que são uma marca fundamental dos últimos 60 anos. Quer dizer que a África, que se pretendia um continente de paz e de prosperidade, transformou-se num continente de caos e, sobretudo, da ausência de futuro. Isto abre para um terceiro aspecto que me parece fundamental e os intelectuais africanos têm um consenso: 60 anos passados, a África transforma-se num lugar onde a esperança é praticamente inexistente e grande parte das suas populações vivem o presentismo imediato, quer dizer, não há oportunidade de se projectar para o futuro. Isto tem que ver com problemas de má governação, corrupção profundamente endémica”, argumenta. Citando vários intelectuais e filósofos africanos, Régio Conrado resume que, 60 anos depois, “a África continua com os mesmos tipos de problemas e a independência africana é muito mais formal” porque o continente “não conseguiu descolonizar nem a sua economia, nem a sua forma de pensar, nem o autoritarismo e as estruturas coloniais que ainda permanecem no contexto actual”. Ou seja,  “isto é de facto uma demonstração de que 60 anos de independência - que significaria ou deveria significar, grande transformação social, política, económica, etc - é que, no fundo, a África permanece um simulacro daquilo que eram os objectivos em 1960”. Régio Conrado aponta o dedo a todo “um sistema ocidental que encara África como espaço de espoliação, um espaço de roubo, um espaço – como dizia Samir Amin - que tem de ser sempre periférico para poder alimentar as economias ocidentais”, aliado aos “compadrios políticos” com “oligarcas, ditadores e sanguinários”. “É por essa razão que toda a independência que for apenas política, ela é ficcional, é um simulacro enquanto ela não for capaz de trazer a independência económica que é o ponto fundamental (...) Por um lado faz-se o discurso de democratização do continente africano – que do meu ponto de vista não é o grande interesse do Ocidente – e, ao mesmo tempo,  protegem-se os líderes considerados como fortes. O caso paradigmático é o de Idriss Ipno, o Presidente do Chade, que há 30 anos chegou ao poder e é considerado o homem forte e o homem essencial para poder ajudar na exploração de recursos, seja no Burkina Faso, seja nos Camarões, seja na Nigéria. Porquê? Porque ele tem um exército e governa com mão de ferro”, continua. Por isso, o investigador considera que "descolonizar as independências africanas pressupõe duas coisas fundamentais" que são um modelo económico africano e a "mudança das mentalidades políticas”. “É preciso que os africanos entendam que devem encontrar um modelo económico que lhes seja endógeno e que responda aos desafios fundamentais dos seus respectivos países (...) O segundo ponto da descolonização deve significar a mudança das mentalidades políticas. A democracia e os valores democráticos devem respeitar as dinâmicas próprias dos povos africanos. Não significa que os africanos devam ser ditatoriais para dizer que somos africanos, mas é preciso que a democracia - pensada do ponto de vista axiológico, liberdade, igualdade - seja enquadrada nas dinâmicas próprias das nossas sociedades. Não cabe às potências ocidentais - França, Estados Unidos, Inglaterra, Portugal, etc - dizerem o que é que os africanos devem saber sobre a democracia, direitos humanos, liberdades, etc. Enquanto não descolonizarmos esses dois aspectos fundamentais, obviamente que a independência significará simplesmente um mimetismo, seja institucional, económico e de outras formas, como temos vindo a ver nos últimos anos", afirma. Como descolonizar?  O investigador acredita que “a solução e o destino” do continente africano passam por uma “grande revolução” feita pelos jovens e pelo "potencial de revolta social, intelectual e cultural".  "Há grandes esperanças. Há muitos jovens africanos hoje a fazerem trabalho intelectual, há a contestação da sociedade civil no Mali, por exemplo. Penso que há um grande potencial em África e é este potencial da revolta social, da revolta intelectual, da revolta cultural que tem de ser transformado em instrumento fundamental para reconstruir a nossa economia e, sobretudo, a nossa política. Talvez aí se encontre a solução e o destino do continente africano”, conclui. Uma entrevista para ouvir na íntegra aqui:  

Dans la très courte liste des Africains qui ont profondément marqué le système des Nations, voici un géant égyptien, géant bien avant Mohammed Salah, et pourtant très largement méconnu en Afrique. Et pourtant, il a été à la fois acteur et symbole d’une révolution silencieuse qui a changé pour toujours la philosophie même de ce qu'on appelle aujourd’hui Les Nations Unies, révolution ayant abouti à la création ou à la transformation de plusieurs agences des Nations Unies qui existent encore toutes aujourd'hui.   Pour le découvrir, le Sankofa vous emmène dans la tête de l'un des hommes les plus intelligents que la Terre ait porté, un éminent économiste africain, dont les réflexions au sujet du capitalisme, du colonialisme et du sous-développement, devraient nous hanter tous, surtout dans les temples du capitalisme sauvage actuel. Bonjour et bienvenue dans la tête du professeur Samir Amin.

In the short list of Africans who have significantly impacted the United Nations, today I am featuring an Egyptian giant, giant way before Mohammed Salah, but largely unknown to the African public, despite having influenced the creation and transformation of several UN agencies such as UNECA, IFAD, UNTAD, all of which still exist today. The creation of these agencies symbolises a silent revolution that changed the very philosophy of the United Nations system today. To find out more about him, the Sankofa takes you today inside the head of one of the most intelligent men the Earth has seen, a prominent African economist whose work on capitalism, colonialism and underdevelopment should haunt us, all, especially in all the temples of today's wild capitalism. Hello and please salute Professor Samir Amin.

// S'abonner à la lettre de ressources du podcast : http://afrotopiques.mystrikingly.com/ Dans cet épisode on rencontre Alioune Sall, dit « Paloma ». Anarchiste révolutionnaire, Alioune Sall est passé de la critique par les armes qui le conduira en prison, au front des imaginaires et de la prospective, épicentre du combat dans lequel se joue l’emprisonnement du futur des multitudes. Il est le fondateur de l'Institut des Futurs Africains, un Think tank de prospective basée en Afrique du Sud. Tout commence dans le contexte post-indépendance où l’apparente décolonisation administrative se traduit en réalité par un renforcement de la colonisation des futurs envisageables pour les jeunes nations, à travers l’instrument de la Loi Cadre. Alioune Sall nous rappelle l’importance des idées, des imaginaires, et la nécessité de s’insurger devant la proposition obscène d’un avenir qui n’est pas autre chose que le passé indigne des autres. Insurrection qui doit également inventer ses propres grammaires et architectures et s’émanciper des imaginaires révolutionnaires qui ont été forgées à partir de réalités et rationalités organisationnelles différentes. Car si l’avenir des Afriques n’est pas le socialisme théorisé hier à l’Est, alors le futur du continent demeure un territoire à explorer et un domaine à construire. On découvre le rôle qu’ont joué les idées et les intellectuels radicaux du Sud, comme Samir Amin avec la théorie de la dépendance, qui ont influencé la marche du monde, creusé des failles dans la théorie économique dominante et dans le système des Nations Unies, qui a pu être infiltré par des militants qui ont occupé des espaces et créé des sortes d’Agences A Défendre, comme celle de l’IDEP à Dakar. l’IDEP a entamé la construction d’un avenir post-capitaliste dès les années 70’ et a donné naissance à ENDA, la première ONG de chercheurs hétérodoxes basée au Sud, qui a pensé l’alternative au développement à partir de la critique environnementale de la modernité. Il nous rappelle également que la préoccupation du développement est venue du Sud, à une époque où tout ce qui intéressait les grandes puissances étaient l’équilibre des forces du désordre. Alioune Sall nous invite à réinventer l’avenir, à partir d’une analyse renouvelée du présent. A observer les effets de 60 ans de développement qui se traduisent par un creusement inouï des inégalités économiques, territoriales, culturelles et une vulnérabilisation accentuée d’une partie toujours grandissante de la population. Les défis qui se posent aujourd’hui, c’est de construire une économie qui retrouve sa vocation originelle, qui est d’être le véhicule de la chaleur que produit la confiance en l’autre et la coopération. De renouveler la réflexion sur les nouveaux mécanismes de la dépendance, de retrouver l’audace de penser en dehors des paradigmes dominants, et de produire un langage commun pour construire un futur durable et désirable. Si possible, sans acronymes. Bonne écoute //

En anteriores programas hemos tratado de sentar unas bases para analizar el fascismo desde diversas ópticas, tanto desde una interpretación fenomenológica clásica, como más aperturista enfocada a encontrar nexos comunes entre sus diferentes manifestaciones históricas y los roles que ocupan éstas y las del nacionalsocialismo dentro del sistema capitalista global.

En este primer episodio, recuperamos una de las últimas entrevistas que diera en vida el gran teórico marxista Samir Amin a dos investigadores del Instituto Tricontinental de Investigación Social.

Writer, academic, and activist Max Ajl discusses his critique of the Green New Deal, which particularly looks at the ways in which the Green New Deals intentionally leaves out the Global South and functions to preserve a "green" version of industrial capitalism. Then he explains what ecological catastrophe like global warming could mean for the Global South if left in our current state of global capitalism, and we explore revolutionary, agricultural alternatives to the Green New Deal that have emerged from the Third World. In short, full decolonization marks the future of hope in combating global ecological catastrophe. Finally, we end on a conversation about food and agricultural sovereignty before Samir Amin's 'delinking' theory, which Ajl wrote about here, and says can be a powerful model for moving forward.

The Gang reads Part 4 of Samir Amin's 1988 classic '"Eurocentrism", "Towards a Non-Eurocentric View of History and a Non-Eurocentric View of Social Theory". Amin's radical revision of historical materialism impresses the hell out of everyone. Help us turn the world upside down…literally! patreon.com/swampsidechats

Samir Amin wrote in 2016 that: “Partial awareness emerges from particular struggles, for example, from the struggles of peasants or women for the defense of human commons or the struggle for respect of popular sovereignty. The progress of the convergence of these particular types of awareness would make it possible to advance towards the formulation of new ways to surpass capitalism. But note…increased awareness will not happen through successive adaptations to the requirements of capitalist accumulation, but through awareness of the necessity of breaking with those requirements. The most enlightened segments of the movement should not isolate themselves by brandishing their disdain for others. Rather, they should involve themselves in all struggles in order to help the others to advance their understanding.” According to John Bellamy Foster in his Monthly Review article titled, Samir Amin at 80: An Introduction and Tribute, Amin's work, as wide-ranging as it is, can be succinctly described in terms of the dual designation of the The Law of Value and Historical Materialism. For Amin, this basic division of Marxist theory is not to be denied. However, what makes Amin's work vital and innovative is his insistence that the economic laws of capitalism, summed up by the law of value, are subordinate to the laws of historical materialism. Economic science, while indispensable, cannot explain at the highest level of abstraction, as in mathematical equations, the full reality of capitalism and imperialism, since it cannot account either for the historical origins of the system itself, or for the nature of the class struggle. Nor indeed can it present in a strictly determinant fashion the contemporary historical manifestation of the law of value, expressed as the theory of “globalized value,” which requires recognition of such factors as monopoly power and unequal exchange. At best we can see value relations as historically “transformed” in ways that are less determinant than in the abstract models based on a freely competitive economy, but which are still subject to meaningful political-economic analysis. The rise of monopoly capital and imperialism from the late nineteenth century on consolidated a system of “apartheid on a world scale” dividing the affluent countries of the North from those of the South. Today, Africa World Now Project will present a 2013 lecture that Samir Amin gave at School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London as part of the series "Samir Amin: Six Decades of Development Debate" Samir Amin was born in Cairo in 1931 and was educated at the Lycee Francais there. He gained a Ph.D. in Political Economy in Paris (1957), as well as degrees from the Institut de Statistiques and from the Institut d'Etudes Politiques. He then returned home where he was attached to the planning bodies of Nasser's regime. He left Egypt in 1960 to work with the Ministry of Planning of the newly independent Mali (1960-1963), and following this, he commenced an academic career. He has held the position of full professor in France since 1966 and was for ten years (1970-1980) the director of the U.N. African Institute for Economic Development and Planning (in Dakar). Since 1980 he was directing the African Office of the Third World Forum, an international non-governmental association for research and debate. He is author of many books, which include, but are not limited to, Accumulation on a World Scale: A Critique of the Theory of Underdevelopment; Unequal Development: An Essay on the Social Formations of Peripheral Capitalism; Maldevelopment: Anatomy of a Global Failure; The People's Spring: The Future of the Arab Revolution

Listen to the Sat. Aug. 25, 2018 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the passing of Egyptian marxist scholar and consultant Samir Amin; there have been more reported cases of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC); the Constitutional Court in Zimbabwe has upheld the victory of incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa paving the way for his inauguration for a full term as head-of-state; and the Ugandan government has charged Member of Parliament Bobbi Wine with treason. In the second hour we commemorate Black August with a rare archived interview with political prisoner George Jackson from 1971. Finally we continue our tribute to Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin on the eve of memorial services which will be held this coming week in Detroit.

On Feb. 4, journalist Firoze Manji walked in on Egyptian theorist Samir Amin and Mamdou Habashi, a well known Egyptian activist talking politics, and joined right in. Here's the recording he made.
